Breaking: Jamey Johnson
Who: Alabama’s own Jamey Johnson, a shit-kicking, hard-drinking badass who is well on his way to being country music’s biggest outlaw.
Sounds Like: To start, think Steve Earle and Merle Haggard, not Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban. On his album That Lonesome Song, Johnson mixes tender ballads like “In Color” with barnstormers like “High Cost of Living” and raw country tales influenced by booze, drugs and his own divorce. “I was trying to reach that dude at the bar going through what I was going through,” Johnson says of the album.
